Trailer for 'H2'! (Gesundheit.)
Filed under: Horror », The Weinstein Co. », Remakes and Sequels », Summer Movies », Trailers and Clips »
I'm a horror fan, but I'm not one of those demented geeks who sits in his cluttered basement wishing he could remake Frankenstein in order to explain the monster's tortured family life before he was resurrected by the good doctor. Thus I was more than a little perplexed when self-professed hardcore horror fan Rob Zombie so eagerly jumped into the director's chair to make his own version of John Carpenter's classic Halloween. What made him think he could improve on perfection?
I agree completely with Cinematical's Scott Weinberg, who recently Tweeted: "Corpses and Rejects are to horror what Epic and Date are to comedy." Of course, he was talking about Zombie's initial forays into the horror field, House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. If you haven't seen them, don't worry: they're simple, fanboy pastiches of earlier, better films that influenced Zombie. Rejects was a modest improvement over Corpses, but, by all accounts, his Halloween in 2007 was a total misfire that pleased no one but the studio bean counters.
I confess, I haven't seen it yet -- my most trusted horror guru (read his review) advised me to save my money -- and the new trailer for H2: Halloween 2 does not inspire much hope for the sequel to the remake. The trailer promises that "the secret" will be revealed. Like Halloween II, the original sequel directed by Rick Rosenthal, this one features a lot of hospital footage. You can watch it over at Yahoo! (or below) and glory, if you choose, in the prospect of more Sheri Moon Zombie. Tyler Mane returns as Michael Myers, along with Scout Taylor-Compton, Malcolm McDowell, and Danielle Harris. H2: Halloween 2 Electric Boogaloo hits theaters on August 28.
Stars in Rewind: Katherine Heigl -- Pink, Purple, and Prissy
Filed under: Trailers and Clips », Stars in Rewind »
Freaky Friday isn't the only movie where switching skin leads to a better understanding of a family member. In 1996, there was Wish Upon a Star, and it featured Katherine Heigl as Alexia, the older, popular, and way-too-purple-clad sister of Danielle Harris' nerdy Hayley. (Harris played the goth Tosh in Urban Legend.) Little sis wishes on a comet, hoping to get a little bit of Alexia's life and poof! They switch places!
Above you can check out the opening of the movie, where Heigl's character covers herself in pastels and gets ready for school. Obviously it's a school a lot more laid back than the one I went to, since she wears a barely-there mini shirt and stomach-baring tank top. It looks like she's trying out for a part in Clueless. If you can't get enough of a teen Heigl, head after the jump and see the sisters realize that they've switched bodies.
Danielle Harris to Return to Halloween Country (and Maybe Naked,Too!)

Now this is one rumor I didn't expect to end up as reality: 29-year-old actress Danielle Harris has signed on to play ill-fated babysitter Annie Brackett in Rob Zombie's Halloween Played by Nancy Loomis in John Carpenter's original Halloween, Annie Brackett is the brunette one who ends up on the business end of a ... Oh, my bad. I almost went all spoiler-y on you. The very idea that there's a movie freak out there who hasn't seen Halloween is just too weird to imagine, but I guess it's possible.
In juicily related news, Bloody-Disgusting.com reports that in the casting paperwork, it was made pretty clear that this role would require a small amount of nakedness ... and I'm just sure that piece of information made it into the public domain by pure accident. Rob Zombie would never try to sell a movie by blatantly promising some bare breasts. (I'm kidding; of course he would.)
Still no word on who'll be playing the old Jamie Lee Curtis character, but Zombie seems to enjoy dropping new cast info on any day that ends in a Y.
